It's definitely not a model helicopter; even a large one by model standards would be too small to effectively control at those distances. Another key is the head speed; it's much too low to be a model.

Interesting. So let me get this straight. So this guy gets together with his buddies and decides to make a unique video with a helicopter. In their infinite wisdom they decide to (safely and with much planning) film a scene that looks like someone with a helicopter is trying to kill a group of people on the ice. So the internet explodes with 'Holy crap!' Local authorities are probably on the hunt for this 'crazy' pilot so he decides to come clean and explain the whole thing and how well they prepared for the stunt. Seriously?

Someone posts a pretty cool video that none of us know sh*t about the actual details and suddenly many are acting like a bunch of politicians that are horrified at the safety concerns violated! That ice looked really slippery to me and God only knows how thick it was?? I too am "appalled". Oops sorry, I didn't read Neil's link to the pilot's explanation. I see the ice was 10" thick and could support a "big" truck. I guess I'm a little "less appalled".

Guys, gals -- as a somewhat experienced 12,000 hour rotorcraft pilot, he was going slow, slow --- look how quick he makes a left pedal turn and sticks the tail into the relative wind -- he was slow --look at the altitude gained before reversing direction -- he was slow - a fast taxi at most --- all were obviously involved -- no big deal -- no, he should not have, but come on!
